A half million of dollars!
Pretty steep figure that !
However, that it the size of the amoim

ments in Ashevillc, the premium city
the south.
Recognizing the fact that all eyes are
turned toward Asheville now, Inn Citi
zen has visited and talked with the lead
ing contractor and architects of the city
for the purpose of securing plain facts
and figures with which to show to the
world outside Just what the young giant
is doing,
. ii j ... . . . .
nn wcic agrcca tnnt at no lime in
Ashcrille's history had there been such
an amount of building in progress. The
larger contractors have turned away
work, simply becaase their hands arc full
in ine matter oi inoorert, there are
plenty of unskilled workmen, but a scarc
ity of good brick masons.
And the Improvement bill just passed
the contractors say will give an impetus
to building instead of retarding it, as
was thought by some of the opponents
of the measure.
In the architect's lists below, to avoid
epetition, only such buildings are given
as arc not included in the building re
ported by the contractors. The list in
eludes all buildings jnst being completed
and those which are under course of con
struclion or to x beuun within the next
month.
I here are several other contractors
in the city who could not be seen, but
the appended list will giye some idea ol
what is to be done in the building line.
The list docs not include the $100,00(1
government building, the Keuilworth
Inn. the hotel ol the Asheville Park and
hotel company, nor the new Mission hos
pital.
